How Generous Are D3 Colleges With Financial Aid and Merit Scholarships?

Most Generous D3 Colleges Merit Scholarships
Student-athletes have to navigate an additional layer in the college admissions process, as they not only try to find schools that fit academically, socially, and financially, but also athletically.
 
Many student-athletes choose to attend schools that are part of the NCAA Division 3 level in an effort to continue with their sport but also have more time for academics and social interests.
 
For those unfamiliar with the different college sports leagues, NCAA Division III is a group of 442 colleges that DO NOT offer athletic scholarships, but do evaluate student-athletes for need-based financial aid and/or merit scholarships.
 
Receiving this type of aid can be more beneficial because it is not reliant on a student continuing to play sports during college. The competition levels in Division III are high, but practice seasons are shorter and there’s more focus on academic achievement.
 
Because student-athletes attending D3 colleges will not receive athletic scholarships, families need to do the same type of research that families with non-athletes need to do, in searching for colleges that will meet your family’s financial need and/or award your student for their merit accomplishments.
 
The two lists below include D3 colleges and information pertaining to financial aid and merit scholarships.
 
The first list includes D3 schools which have publicly available information from their Common Data Set.
 
We’ve used this information to include information on the percent a college meets of a family’s financial need, the average need award, the % of students without need who receive merit scholarships, and the average amount of the merit scholarship.
 
The second list includes all D3 schools and includes data from IPEDS on the percent of students receiving institutional grants (which includes any money coming directly from the college), the average amount of institutional grants, and what percent the institutional grants represent of the total cost. It’s important to note, that the numbers related to institutional grants include money awarded for need and merit.
 
In addition to looking at data on financial aid and merit, we’ve included data on graduation rates and total price (in-state prices listed for public schools). You can sort the data by any column.It’s important to consider graduation rates as each additional potential year of college adds significantly to the cost of a college education.
